been parading the town in parties
during the afternoon and evening
shooting fire-crackers and roman

ten young gentlemen, including Me-
Willie Mitchell, met the said White.
sides and two or three other negroes
on President street, when the negro
became offended at one of them for
blowing q horn. 1t was not Mitchell
who blew the horn, for he had none.
The negro became very offensive and
abusive in his language toward the
party. whereupon an alteration of
words only ensued between he and
Mitchell. Mitchell was unarmed at
the time, but ON account of the re-
peated abuse and threats OF the negro
borrowed Il pistol from one of his
companions. The negro went into
an adjacent butcher shop, where he
had usually been employed, ~ not
then on duty, and procured a ahtch-
er's knife, the same being handed
to him by II companion, another ne
gro named Alex. Jackson, with the
remark, "Don't you let anybody
curse you; take this and GO" Hear
ing these threats and observing from
the outside this preparation for
fray, the party Of young men stop
ped near the door aud awaited his
approach After remaining there
short while, aud the negro not again
making his appearance, and giving
no further evidence of attempting
tOexecute previous tn reats, the young
men, thinking the matter ended, be-
gan to disperse, and all left. After
young Mitchell and single COM
panion had proceeded about twenty
or thirty feet, leisurely walking
along the pavement, Whitesides, ac.
companied by the negro Jackson. |
who had given him the knife, and
another negro, Julius Allen, rushed
upon Mitchell and his companion. |
Passing the latter from behind he
cut Mitchell across the throat from
near the right corner of his mouth to
the back Of his neck. Mitchell's
companion interfered, thrust was
made at him by the negro, and one
of his fingures WAS nearly amputated
thereby. Mitchell, when cut, turn
ed and fired three times ~ he was
falling, each shot taking effect, the
negro continuing to make desperate
thrusts with his knife, and the other
negro, Julius Allen, then caught
Mitchell's hand and was trying to
wrench his pistol from him while lie
was firing. Both fell on each other
the negro dying In few minutes.
Mitchell, with assistance, rose and
walked u block to Ledbetter's drug
store, where he died In about two
hours. Thus have the joys and pleas
ures Of Christmas been disrupted here
and . deep gloom enshrOuds the
whole community. The negroes,
J Jackson and Allen, have been arrest
ed as accomplices to Mitchell's MUIR
der, and are now In Jail.

WATER WORKS
OF Dallas Attracting Attention OF
Capitalists.

Capitalists.
Now that the amended charter al
lows Dallas to issue bonds to the
amount of 100000, the prospects for
water works improvements are, of
course, good, and there is no question
in the min Is of the people concerning
the necessity for more water and
greater facilities. Water is necessity
and cannot be done without. A limit
cd supply will not answer. There
must be an abundance and to spare
In consequence of the situation 1t is
but natural that men engaged in water
works building should visit the city
and cast their eagle eyes over the sit
uation and talk learnedly about water
works, ater,quantity and quality, and
how and where to get it, and all the
rest. 1t is, however, surprising how
some men, on days acquaintance.
can so accurately" estimate de-
mand and supply and discover
in moments observation that the
water in Browder Springs is "really.
contaminated This gentleman has
discovered from what part Of the city
the water comes that flows into the
springs, and that it passes through
the filthy portion, and boldly an
nounces that the Browder Springs
should be abandoned at once-in-
stanter. The lives, We presume he
means Of our people, are in danger OF
being destroyed, if another draught
is taken. Bah. The expert hydraulic
gentleman says that 1t is his opinion
that the wells of Dallas are contami-
mated and should be closed instanter
1t is surprising how suddenly it is dis
covered that what n people have been
using for years is poisonous and de-
structive to human lives, when the
way is made clear for big contract
or Il chance to depreciate the value of
what one owns, with the view of pur-
Chasing
1t is reported that General
G.. c. Stone and Mr.. l.. l.. Smith
capitalists of Leavenworth, Kan, are in
the city, and they have brought with
them Mr.. Il. j. Whitman an expert hy-
draulc engineer TO examine the water
works here with the view of purchas-
ing the same, or receiving a contract
for extending he works.
The HERALD is opposed TO selling
the water works to corporation. 1t
believes that the greatest good to the
greatest number is saved through the
city's ownership, and as water is a
necessity, it is but right and proper
that city should look TO the interest
of her people from a humanitarian
point of view, and as an economical
point the city certainly can furnish
water for less money than corpora
ton and supply itself for fire purposes,
etc, for much less than private corpor-
atoms. The people will absolutely
oppose any contemplation of the sale
of the water works.
